<P>Hi&nbsp;<LI-USER uid="9655"></LI-USER>. Thanks for being part of GoDaddy Community! Please take a look at <A href="https://www.godaddy.com/help/how-do-each-of-cpanels-resources-affect-my-site-9323" target="_self">this article</A> for information on what each of the resources is and how it can affect your site. This should also address the question from your second post (merged below).&nbsp;</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>For your second question, upgrading may address your issue, but it would be best to first identify what is causing the resources to be so high. If you can reduce that, then you might not need to upgrade. Unfortunately, there isn't a guide to determining this. You'll need to educate yourself on how your website is built and how it's using resources. However, if you have a WordPress site, installing a caching plugin is a good first step.&nbsp;</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>For your third question, yes you can upgrade just your resources instead of upgrading the cPanel plan. That is what you would be doing if you used the dialogue&nbsp;box in your screenshot. You can also do it by following the steps in <A href="https://www.godaddy.com/help/upgrading-your-cpanel-accounts-resources-11995" target="_self">this article</A>.&nbsp;</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>I hope that helps.&nbsp;</P>
